Ya Raiyat’ is the product of a traditional Yemeni folk song, dismantled and reformed by El Khat and Yemeni inventor, carpenter and music producer Eyal El Wahab.
Recorded in Eyal's backstreet studio in Tel Aviv filled with mics, speakers and a lot of junk much of which has been repurposed and turned into instruments of every persuasion.
Ya Raiyat' comes from a debut album by El Khat set for release later this year.
The album sung in Yemeni Arabic, features a series of handmade instruments self-designed cellos, guitars, flutes all made of repurposed materials and unused furniture from the street.
